Religious Education

Our religious education curriculum aims to engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to explore difficult philosophical questions, develop an understanding of different religious beliefs and also encourage them to reflect on their own ideas and way of living. RE helps children to combat prejudice, appreciate diversity and promotes the integral values of tolerance and respect. In this way, our RE curriculum contributes towards establishing British values and aids children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. As a church school, RE has a place of extra significance, and Christianity forms a large part of our teaching and learning. We believe RE has a vital role to play in preparing pupils for adult life, employment and lifelong learning.

Our RE curriculum is structured around substantive knowledge and core concepts of Christianity and World Religions. We also teach children to think and work like theologians and philosophers through key disciplinary knowledge and skills.
